Drainage System Techniques Sportsmen and sportswomen the world over enjoy playing on high quality sports turf. In areas of high rainfall this usually means a well designed drainage system is required to enable play to continue all year round in all but the most extreme conditions. Modern drainage systems frequently consist of three components: Initially, piped drains are placed 5, 7 or 10 metres apart, which are then backfilled almost to the surface with a free-draining gravel mix. This is then topped with fine sand or a sand and loam mix. This is known as the primary drainage system and is responsible for dealing with the main flow of water filtering from the surface.
